It's St Swithun's Day, have a poem where he's grumpy about the way he was buried, and was actually really happy when Winchester Cathedral started to sink because it was built without foundations.

Okay now I’m home and both kids are asleep in the car so whilst I’m sitting in the drive, let me try again:

deleted a thread because sometimes I use a quote post as a jumping off point for a separate but related idea that I have, and everyone reading thinks it’s an attack on OP.

consider myself to be a progressive in most areas of life but unfortunately remain extremely reactionary when it comes to history documentaries, if they're not being narrated by an Englishman so posh it sounds like he has a speech impediment then I'm frankly not interested

Instagram recommended me a video of this woman surprising her boyfriend with an especially skimpy outfit, to which he reacted with "oh my giddy aunt!", and I do think that we, foreign women who chose to settle in Britain, are collectively braver than the Marines

Well, time once again to trot out the story of the guy in my school who got caught using some primitive translation software to cheat on his French homework after turning in 500 words discussing the rise of "Jean Marie Le-Stylo"
